Big Crown Records is proud to present the first single from Holy Hive’s forthcoming debut full length ‘Float Back To You.’

The A-side ‘Hypnosis’ is an up number from The Hive that catches the listener from the first notes of Paul’s guitar. A good vibe tune inspired by the price you pay to stay out late at night and enjoy your life knowing you have work in the morning. Homer and Paul once again play up the fruitful relationship of Oxpecker and rhino with Steinweiss’ infamous in the pocket drumming that Spring’s vocals float over. Harp and synth flourishes pepper the arrangement and the uber-catchy chorus makes this one a staple in their live set.

The B-side, ‘Broom’ is a musing on the nature of seeing one’s true love for the first time. Holy Hive have taken this tried and true subject and infused it with their signature soul-folk sound to create this gem of a B-side. Paul Spring's honesty shines through as he sings with his beautiful falsetto about his real-life love at first-sight experience. Joe Harrison brings the tasteful bass and supporting guitar accents while Homer Steinweiss lays down one of his signature grooves. The drum break at the top features a rare and much sought after drum machine known by some as the "zim-gar". Also, Holy Hive is proud to welcome Leon Michels as the guest saxophonist on the this tune. It was all recorded at the Diamond Mine Studios with Jens Jungkurth as the engineer.

Holy Hive are Homer Steinweiss (The Dap-Kings) and Paul Spring, along with their honorary brother Joseph ‘Tone’ Harrison.
